I'm surprised they're retiring the Super View Odoriko, though, I'd've thought that was a hot seller. Also the Hokutosei set? I know they just released the 1989 configuration of the JR Hokkaido set, but…I don't understand. Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Could be they're changing changing from a 6 car base set to a 3 or 4 car base set and different sized add-on sets.. They seem to enjoy doing that both at Kato and Tomix at the moment =) Link to comment

There are still are other versions. I only went through the train set stock list. The 4000s are individual cars. I they have the individual cars the add-on sets may not sell. Still I'd mover the Kiha 111 & 112 up my list a bit. 10-347 ・ Kiha 111 &112 Standard Set (2-Cars) 10-348 ・ Kiha 111 &112 Add-On Set (2-Cars) Discon. 4047-1 ・ Kuha 111 2000 Shonan Color 1,785 4048-1 ・ Moha 112 2000 Shonan Color 3,780 4051-1 ・ Kuha 111 2100 Shonan Color 1,785 4052-1 ・ Moha 112 2000 Shonan Color 1,260 4099-1 ・ Saha 111 2000 Shonan Color 1,155 Link to comment
bill937ca Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 This information is all coming from the Kato stock information page if anyone wants to look into any particular models. It tells you what they have in stock and what they are planning to add over the next couple of months. http://www.katomodels.com/distribution/stock_e2.shtml Link to comment

Hopefully this means that they are starting to roll out some new stuff. Make sure you have the older color set (I have the older one) because you might be ordering an add on set with a non-matching color. That is if it's the older color version they're discontinuing. Here is a photo of the old color: Link to comment
